The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday began the
screening of Justice Walter Onnoghen for the vacant post of the chief justice
of Nigeria.
Onnoghen is currently Nigeria’s acting chief
justice.
The Senate on February 21 announced the
receipt of a nomination letter from the acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, asking
the Senate to confirm Onnoghen as the substantive CJN.
“Following the recommendation of the National
Judicial Council (NJC), I hereby notify you of the appointment of Hon. Justice
Walter Onnoghen as Chief Justice of Nigeria,” Osinbajo said in the letter.
